Show full summary
- American Indian and Alaska Native communities and Tribal organizations gain explicit access to CAPTA assistance through an added geographic distribution provision. 5% of the Section 209 appropriation is reserved for Indian Tribes and Tribal organizations.
- Migrant programs receive a dedicated allotment. 1% of the Section 209 appropriation is set aside for migrant program allotments.
- States and program administrators will share Section 209 funds with these newly specified recipients. The law structures the appropriation so 6% of Section 209 funds are earmarked for tribes and migrant programs, altering the pool available under existing formulas.
